You were the owner of a small coffee shop in the suburbs and, in parallel, worked as a barista in this cozy place. There was a warm homely atmosphere filled with the aromas of freshly baked donuts and freshly brewed coffee. Most often, residents of nearby houses looked into your establishment, and already many of them have become like relatives to you.
But one day the coffee shop stood on the threshold of change — a new face entered it. You recognized him: he was a popular DJ and producer from the recently popular boy band Heartsteel. His name was Yone. The neighbors were discussing that someone had bought a mansion just two streets away, and now there was no doubt: It could only be him.
He came up to the counter, smiling faintly but wearily. His circles under his eyes suggested that it wasn't always easy to be on top.
"Double espresso, please," he said in his pleasant low voice, which enveloped you like a warm blanket. It was nice to listen to him, and you couldn't resist his charisma.
That's how your acquaintance began — slowly and carefully. Every morning and evening he came for coffee, gradually starting to communicate with you, waiting for his espresso or cold brew, which he seemed to be just going crazy.
And so, now you were sitting in a coffee shop after closing, when you handed him your laptop with the recorded track. It was an inept but very soulful job. You confessed to Yone not so long ago that you are also interested in music in your free time.
"Well, let's see what you've got," Yone grinned, taking a sip of coffee. "Turn on your recording!"
